Springboks side to face Wales

Springboks: 15 Damian Willemse, 14 Ethan Hooker, 13 Damian de Allende, 12 Andre Esterhuizen, 11 Canan Moodie, 10 Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, 9 Morne van den Berg, 8 Jasper Wiese, 7 Franco Mostert, 6 Siya Kolisi (c), 5 Ruan Nortje, 4 Jean Kleyn, 3 Wilco Louw, 2 Johan Grobbelaar, 1 Gerhard Steenekamp
Replacements: 16 Bongi Mbonambi, 17 Zachary Porthen, 18 Asenathi Ntlabakanye, 19 Eben Etzebeth, 20 Marco van Staden, 21 Ben-Jason Dixon, 22 Kwagga Smith, 23 Cobus Reinach

I'm loving the look of that midfield, will be interesting how they go together

Not much subtlety there! Morne is a bit ponderous at 9, but with SFM at 10 at least there should be some creativity - I hope.

De Allende has some passing skills when he actually decides to use them. He might enjoy the extra space of playing 13.

But the modern game is all about power and it's only Wales. I'm picking a hat trick from one of them.

I wish they would play Willemse at 12 more

@W32 agree. He played all his schoolboy in 10. He fit in any position. He do an extra players work on defense. He is handy when we get a red card.

Its always a good tussle against Wales for the Springboks.

@MN5

One of the main areas of concern for Wales has been a lack of physicality. It has meant that they are more often than not playing on the back foot or behind the gain line or scrabbling in defence. I do fear what this Bok side might do to this Welsh side.

Cue something I never thought I'd say or feel, but c'mon you Gogs! Cymru am byth!

From this side of the Severn, there is no distinction.

Don’t tell your whippet that

Grey old day here

Roof will be on thankfully

I'll be happy with a 62-38 kind of loss with Wales improving at scrum time, the line out and discipline.

Would be great to see some long range tries too.

Boo to Bristol for not releasing LRZ for this one and then naming him in today's match against Northampton on the bench.

Pity Nicky Smith not available. Top five LH in world.

South Africa leading after half an hour, 14-0. Tries to Steenekamp and Hooker. Springboks forwards are utterly dominant. Wales looking like a side who have been thrown together because that is what they are.

Mngomezulu butchers a try.

Weise scores. 0-19 to the visitors.

South Africa have 61% possession and 73% territory.

@sparky this is going to get very messy. Getting absolutely smashed up front

@pooler-fan South Africa will win by at least 50 points and might get close to 100 points.

Raisse Erasmus is an absolutely ruthless fluffybunny. No sympathy from him for the woes of Wales Rugby. He's a killer. He's enjoying watching Wales bleed to death this afternoon. A brutal, beautiful mismatch.

Welsh crowd is extraordinary.

The only thing keeping this close is brave Wales defence. Making 92% of their tackles at the moment. But I can't see it staying there for long.

@sparky Bravo.

The difference in the ruck speed is remarkable. South Africa playing the game faster and with so much more power.

4th South African try. Van der Berg.

Wales 0 South Africa 28

Half time.

Wales relieved to be heading to the changing room.

Wiese and Hooker the pick of the Boks.

There's going to be some battered bodies in the Welsh changing room.
Just shows there's no substitute for power in rugby, you lose the physical battle and it's game over.
Wales battling hard but the 2 Bok centres are bigger than most of the Welsh forwards. We'll only get weaker when the bench empties in the 2nd half too.

Hopefully there’s a ball in the Welsh changing room so they can practice touching it

Aaron Wainright goes off with a bleeding eye. Ouch!

Try number 5. Louw.

And Wales lose Taine Plumtree to the sin bin as well.

0-35.

Another one. Mngomezulu. 0-42

If this was a boxing match. The referee would have stopped it.

If this was a kid's game, the coaches would be talking about how long more this should go on.

Getting very ugly with 33 minutes to go.

I'm not watching the game, but that guy picks up more penalties than 2 Barrett's

@Darren It's not a game. It's a massacre.

Moodie scores. 0-47.

The TMO is looking at it. Here we go.

The TMOs need to fuck off.

There is nothing wrong with that. Give the try, you buffoons.

Try given. Conversion successful. 0-49

On come the Bomb Squad. South Africa put on eight substitutes at once.

South Africa somehow blow an overlap of 12.

Another one. Esterhuizen. 50 up.

TMOs up again. Watching back some very slow slow mos again.
